How can I achieve this "glow" look in my photography?

I usually don't ask for advice on /p/, but is this photo just a normal LR/PS luminosity tweak, or did the photographer use a lens filter and shallow depth of field to achieve it? Google wasn't really helpful in finding an answer for this one.

>shallow depth of field
everything is in focus though

It seems like the windows are fitted with a white paper layer or film which acts like a huge softbox.

Other than that its just proper exposition.

That's true, not at 1.4 wide open, but it's at least 2.

>>3112062
Is that what it is? I've seen other photographs that seem similar, I never thought it would be so ubiquitous.

That's way too much effort. Learn the zone system. Expose so that the windows (which should be the brightest things in frame) are in zone x. Adjust the other levels in post to get a decent level of contrast in the rest of the scene.

you mean a slightly overexposed look with raised whites and clarity added?
you overexpose by ~1-2/3 of a stop, raise highlights and a touch of clarity

Thank you both for the info. I figured as much, I'm just a novice and didn't know what term to search for.

Overexpose highlights, use net/stocking behind lens if super autistic. Easy to do in camera or in post.

I suggest reading Ansells Zone System and keeping it in mind when shooting. Usually more important for cinematography or controlled lighting now, but imo still crucial.

jizz on lens

>>3112359
Wow, I never thought that was possible. I just looked at a few examples and they came out decent with no post.
>>3112360
I just read a bit on it. In hindsight, it seems basic, but necessary for certain types of shots. Thanks.

going to try this shit out

never heard of it until now
